How I did it: Recklessly. I very much have a "I'll figure it out" attitude, and therefore rarely pause to read directions. So no surprise that with this I essentially just went to the fabric store, picked out fabric, and started cutting.

Lessons & tips: Use a template, and if you can afford it: buy a rotary cutter and cutting mat. I am using one now for my second quilt and it is making the process much faster and more efficient.

Resources: Not what I used, but useful just the same: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R685a6CDyCg&feature=related
